Everybody makes a piece of **** designed only to outlive the warranty,

My Panasonic Viera has been going strong for over 6 years now. The picture
is as good as the day I bought it. Outlasted every TV I've ever owned.

I've had well over a dozen CRT TVs. Once upon a time I kept 3 in one
room, each tuned to a different news channel, and 1 in each of 3
baths.

Sold them all to buy bigger units after about 5 years, if I had to
guess.

I've never had a TV fail until this antique Pioneer 50" projection
started popping off in10 minutes after more than 10 years, and I've
kept it going for more than 2 years by taking off the back and aiming
a little fan to blow across the innards.

Something told me it was overheating...

Picture on it is still as good as I imagine I can remember it...
